HTML comments in source are visible when comparing revisions side-by-side or in sequential view. For example, the source contains:

<!--/twistyPlugin foswikiMakeVisibleInline-->

This shows up on the actual page as:

<--/twistyPlugin foswikiMakeVisibleInline-->

Notice the exclamation point is not there as if the engine removed it so it looks like plain text.

re-prioritizing to low.

I suspect that is related to the FoswikiRender task ... we aggressively convert ! to <nop>, which removes ! from the rendered text.
